Yes indeed, attached to forward and aft docking ports, which is why Shenzhou-13 will be using the nadir docking port.Pardon my ignorance, right now, the 2 Tianzhou are still attached to Tianhe?

Yes. Tianzhou 2 is connected to the front port where the hub module is. Tianzhou 3 is connected to the back of Tianhe core module. Shenzhou 13 will dock to the radial port of the hub module this time.Pardon my ignorance, right now, the 2 Tianzhou are still attached to Tianhe?
The vehicle has to launch into the same orbital plane as the station, meaning you can only launch if the station is about to overfly the launch site. This happens I think around once a day or something like that.I missed their explanation for midnight launch, something to do with optimal docking ?
